In this 20-Minute Mentor, Alym Amlani shows how to use OBS to create polished, studio-style online classes that reduce interruptions and keep students visually engaged.
Online teaching often loses momentum when instructors juggle screen sharing, switch between tools, or struggle to keep students visually engaged. Awkward pauses, cluttered layouts, and technical interruptions can make even strong content feel disjointed, leaving students disengaged and instructors frustrated by the limits of standard video platforms.
In this 20-Minute Mentor, Alym Amlani, CPA, CA—award-winning educator and two-time Best of the Teaching Professor Conference honoree—shows how OBS can transform online classes into polished, studio-style learning experiences. Drawing on his expertise in engagement, emerging technologies, and the Science of Magic, Amlani demonstrates how features like scene switching, overlays, and combined video-and-slide layouts create smoother presentations and hold student attention. Through live examples and a guided walkthrough, you’ll learn how small, practical upgrades to your visual delivery can make your online classes feel more dynamic, professional, and engaging—no production team required.
